How does LSD do *that* to your brain?
In: Biology
Like you’re five? Ok…
So there are these little locks (like a door lock) in your head that control the way you feel. Those little tabs of paper have a chemical on them that fits into the locks and stays there for a while and makes you feel funny.
The most metaphorical way to explain it to a five year old is that your brain runs on fuel like your car. And if the fuel changes, your brain function changes.
I could go all specific receptor affinity, but let’s just say this: the receptors that that drug sticks to are the ones that control perception along with mood and a handful of other feelings you may have. (5ht-2a mostly)
